Shane Duus 6 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 My spark is throwing a code about slow moving coolant, and I loose heat after about 10 min of driving. Anyone know what the normal operating temperature of the 1.2l is? I want to make sure it is not overheating. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

Shane Duus 6 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Perfect thanks. Pop the hood and the coolant reservoir was bone dry. No smoke and the engine is running fine and no leaks so I guess a trip to the dealer is in order. Love how you hit 50,000 miles on a car and it starts to fall apart. Link to post Share on other sites
Spark_one 0 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hmmm sounds very familiar. So when the coolant tank is bone dry what happens when you open the cap on the coolant overflow tank? Does the coolant suddenly return to the tank? Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Dockrey 97 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 There have been several on here that have had issues with the coolant tank leaking. You might look to see if you see any coolant around that tank. The tank is fairly cheap and easy to replace. Link to post Share on other sites
